This means the new 8GB A/V set will finally be premiered and I for one  can’t think of a better situation than doing it in Tokyo
If you are around, don’t hesitate to come.
I will also be playing in Kyoto at Cafe La Siesta, a classical chipmusic venue. I will make sure nobody wants to sleep a siesta or anything at all, though

I also decided to take Red October, the 8GB EP I released in Late 2008, on an independent digital release spin.

The Retinascan edition is not properly produced (as I bitched about before)  and I need as much money as people can help with to fund the new A/V set and the Tokyo trip.

You can peruse the album for a voluntary donation at thew spanking new Bandcamp 8GB page I made. Help a brotehr out.

I have also designed a t-shirt for the 8bitpeoples able from New York. It will be released in these days, more news soon. You will also help me if you buy it.

That’s all from me now,

If you have a bunch of tens of minutes to spare, some interesting things were said back then, and you also get to hear me talk like an idiot with a ridiculous accent (which has since improved *ever so slightly*).

8GB’s website will be updated too because some new stuff needs to be presented, and that means a new way of communication. That will take some more time.

Meanwhile, I try to get energy back to work on new shit, so the day-to-day routine doesn’t keep wasting my neurons. I have updated copiously the work portfolio, which you can find here.

That’s all from me now. We’re still not popular, so nobody will read this shit xD

I’ll show you what software I been trying to get into again as of late:

We live happily somewhere in Leeds, close to the river and around the corner from an Industrial Museum. I can only imagine that we are a pauper in a corner asking for spare change, bro.

I love Internet statistics!

8GB – Promo Megamix 2010 by 8gb

Megamix of 8GB songs, containing most of the currently played tunes at shows.

- MENEO [España] (FluidOZ Rec.)
Lord Rigo Pex de Meneo visita la Argentina y te pone a menearlo este Viernes en la fiesta Santera. Quien no vió a Meneo en vivo se perdió de mucho, sus sets plagados del ritmo “electropical” que lo caracteriza son una caja de sorpresas, como una Piñata! Generando exposición de piel a cualquier lugar donde ha ido, esperamos lo mismo suceda este Viernes en el Lado B de Niceto.

- AK-47 (8GB / Piñata Sound System / kikencorp)
Acompañando la velada y por parte de la crew de Piñata, AK-47 se hará cargo del warmup, esta vez poniéndose en modo tropicalia-electro-whatever. No sabemos muy bien que puede pasar, con Meneo, esto es un combo peligroso…

- SANTERA
Por el lado de Santera, tendremos a Campeón, quien nos va a surtir a tracks para no tirar la toalla, Iszen, desplegando su arsenal de ku-bass, y Sucutruli, proyecto nuevo de Catarsys de Fauna, la sorpresa ESTRENO de la noche.

We took his signature sound, and melted it into a big mess of baile funk, house, electro and late night mayhem.

The result? you can hear it for yourself here, along with the remixes of other cool artists like 6955

After many deadline delays, the final product is live and available for download at Cock Rock Disco’s website. My remix is the last track, number 11.

Thanks to Retrigger for asking me to do this, it was a huge pleasure working on it!
It was also a damn fine challenge to turn Retrigger’s style into the mass of fidget-90s-housey-chip-nonsense I converted the track into

Hope you enjoy it!

The compilation is a party favor with something for everyone with its range of nationalities and styles represented. “Brooklyn Cumbia” seems like an innocent enough opener beckoning a listen; then “Piolaboy (featuring Fauna)” launches into a tropitronica cocktail; and Frikstailers mash it up on “Cumbia Kamisama.” Changing gears is Chancha via Circuito’s “Prima,” which is an ambient electronic track with a runaway crescendo. Things get sensual with floorboard busting track “Soloina (Pastnerak Remix),” and if that was for the ladies, Axel Krygier’s “Cumbia Tucumana” wraps hip-hop over cumbia and dancehall for the chicos.

It’s nothing short of ironic that this collective of DJs and producers is making a global splash because this crew decidedly lives in their own world without rules and categories. Soak in the hues and tints of Vol. 2, subtle as it is audacious, breathy as it is aggressive; it’s a wicked trip to another place.

Take that and party! We be making a splash worldwide, cuando carajo nos bookean en nuestro país? ;/

In all honesty, there hasn’t been much going on (to post here) so i just… drifted. There have been some changes in my life that have demanded a lot of my time and everything else has been put aside for the time being. With that said, I am back on massive motion graphics production, so, if you need anything, who you gonan call?
Some things here and there have happened since then, like the release of the Zizek Sounds Vol.2 compilation, where the track I made with Fauna, Piolaboy, is part of the track listing, or a remix for Retrigger that will be released next week on his new album, “Ornitorrinco Voador”, on the awesome imprint Cock Rock Disco (of Jason Forrest a.k.a. DJ Donna Summer).
We have made a couple of presentations with Zleep as the Piñata Sound System, both in the second Piñata party we made, and in a gig at Buenos Aires’ popularity-gaining night of friday nights at Voodoo Motel.

And what’s coming up?
A whole new live A/V show, more remixes, new tracks, more DJ sets, a couple of tours and more!

More news as they happen…

I leave you with a DJ set I made recently through the streaming nightclub Virtual Night.
Unfortunately not available for download yet, but you can stream it following this link right here.

It’s pretty long (over 2 hours) and it gets bizarre, as usual But you can expect the usual mix of fidget house, bassline and 8-bit, 90s feeling  bizarreness I always deliver when DJing. It’s a good life!

You can buy the 2007 and 2006 DVDs at their website

So here’s the video! Playing track is Jótiner, which you can listen here. Also available for download, for free, is Pravda, my latest EP, at the 8bitpeoples website!

I made this tune on a cab going to the airport in Santiago de Chile, where I would take my flight that would take me to USA prior to this performance, so it was pretty fresh when played

Did you download the AK-47 DJ sets?

I have a couple of apologies regarding our 8GB record release RED OCTOBER. They are as follow:

Number one: we apologize on the delay of any order done to Retinascan prior to February. It had a big deal to do with us not being able to deliver the cover art in time for the desired release date. It was, to our defense, to ensure the cover art’s design quality, which we are very happy with. Please do not hate Retinascan for taking so long, it’s all our fault! Sorry.

Number two: we don’t have any copies of the album itself but some people have contacted us regarding it since they received their orders. I asked one of them to send me some pics of the release, and here’s the result:

(thanks Lazerbeat for providing these)

Suffice to say, it is not our intention that it would look like this, specially the booklet, which it is to be as red as the rest of the cover. Click here to see how we designed it and how it should look

Also we notice scrubbing on the edges of the cover, even after this being new. We also had complaints about packaging and releases arriving crushed.
We are deeply sorry for this. If you feel like it, feel free to shoot us an email and we’ll try make it up for you. Even if it surpasses our responsibility, we deem it necessary to deliver a quality product. 8gb \in/ kikencorp \dot/ com is the address for that.

Also, some people haven’t found yet the bonus online track available for download at the Retinascan site. Here’s the link to it:

8GB – East 105 St. (50hz’s Get Ready remix)
[See post to listen to audio]

Good news is we’re planning to make a “remastered” version of this release, as in packaging remastering . Anyone with a copy bought from Retinascan will receive a free copy of the remastered version (easy ‘proof’ provided beforehand) so feel free to keep on ordering at the Retinascan shop.

Any words about the release will be truly apreciated. Hit us up on mail or here. if we don’t hear from you, positively or negatively, we will never understand the reach of the release, what has worked and what hasn’t.

There’s also that FREE AND TASTY 8GB release up on 8bitpeoples. Did you get it yet?

Thanks a bunch!
